BUTTERCUP - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Hard to believe, but Buttercup has been with our rescue since last fall. Approximately two years old, and 55 lbs, she is very ready for her forever family to come scoop her up. Our best guess for her breed is a lab/shepherd mix. Buttercup is such a sweet girl, and is always a hit when her foster family has guests over. She's been around kids and adults of all ages and loves the extra attention. Buttercup is affectionate and loves to snuggle close with her people. Couch privileges are high on her list in her forever home. She is crate trained, but has long proven her trustworthiness and has been given free reign in the house. Buttercup gets along great with the resident dog, but we also think she'd do just fine as a solo dog. She's playful and loves toys, and definitely likes her humans getting in on the fun. Buttercup's foster family has seen tremendous progress with her learning the ins and outs of being a house dog. There is still some work to do when it comes to leash walking and busier environments. We highly recommend Buttercup's forever home having a fenced in yard for training and exercise while she improves these skills. Buttercup is excited to meet new friends turned family.
